Christmas Tree O Christmas Tree

Christmas time is here! I was going to wait until the 1st of December to put up the tree but it's been snowing all week it just feels like Christmas, so we decorated yesterday. I love having the tree up it's so beautiful. I use to pick out an ornament every when I was younger and meant to do it with David when we got married but just forgot. So this year we picked out our ornaments I love David's I would have never chosen that for him. I was actually shocked when he chose it.

David's ornament. I love that man!

Thanksgiving

This was our third Thanksgiving together as a married couple I can't believe it. We stayed in Rexburg and cooked a Thanksgiving meal for ourselves for the second time. We had breakfast with David's brother and his wife Margeaux. We went and saw HP 7 for the second time (much better round 2) then started cooking.




my pie crust tasted a lot better then last years pie crust. Thanks to my Martha Stewart cooking school book. Happy Thanksgiving!

New York

We just can't get enough of the city. David recently returned to New York with the School last week. We paid very little for the trip and it was a huge blessing he got to go. Most the kids going are looking for Internships, but David went looking for a future a job. I am proud to say he did an amazing job. He printed 15 resumes to hand out and handed them all out but 1 in only 2 days. Intense! New York is more of a reality now. I would say we are about 98% positive we will be moving there for sure. This time next year I will be packing up this apartment and moving to the other side of the country. I can't wait. I hope this year goes by quickly!

Picture above is a little welcome home greeting I made for David and a little sneak peek of our newly decorated bedroom. Which I am so excited about! It looks so good! More of that to come later.

Twizzle

Twizzle Berry which is just like pink berry or any other yogurt shop around, came to Rexburg awhile ago and we never went. But then we became obsessed and we got a punch card ( we love the punch cards have one for everywhere) except this punch was different the FREE punch didn't specifiy what size so we got as much as we could fit in a 20 oz. for FREE. I was laughing so hard on the way there and the whole time we filled up the cup. It was craziness how much twizzle we got!

Bicycle

A long time ago David found a bike in the dumpster it was a really nice bike however the wheels were very old so he hardly rode it. A couple weeks ago he and a friend fixed up that bike and made it way nicer bike. Now David likes to ride bikes with me. The End.

I love....

Fall flowers for me
the first snow storm of the year. Christmas is around the corner.
The Hunger Games. I'm obsessed you must read it!




GLEE!! I love it, it's a mini musical in every episode the songs are amazing!

Halloween Splat

So if you remember Splat the cat from here and here you will know how excited I was to see there was a NEW Splat book about Halloween. And David being the great husband he is surprised with Splat and some flowers because I do love flowers!

Halloween party

(from the ward halloween activity)

Our friends hosted a Halloween Party at their awesome house in Idaho Falls the weekend of Halloween. We ate lot's of Mexican food and played some maybe too spooky games. Me and David dressed as nerd's but everyone said I looked more like a crazy cat lady which was fine I guess.

Deep in the heart of Texas

This will be my last post to wrap up our crazy month of traveling. Then I can start updating on things that are going on in the here and now. So we went straight to Texas after Seattle and hung out with my family for two weeks. We got back in just enough time to get David to school the next day. We played a lot and ate a lot! David went to the dentist to get 4 cavities filled all in one day. We helped decorate my mom's house and celebrated my Dad's birthday.

SO much more to come.

The Underground Tour

David took me on the underground tour in Seattle. It was amazing, the city's history is actually pretty cool. If you don't know anything about it you should definitely look it up, it was very interesting.

In short the original Seattle streets were too low causing a serious sewage problem. One day there was a huge fire and they had to rebuild. They saw this as a great opportunity to fix the nasty sewage problem. The city started to rebuild the streets way above the original streets, however it was going to take awhile to rebuild the new streets. So the businesses decided remained open during the construction. So you had the new streets above being built and the original street's below where you also had the store fronts. So people would climb up and down to go in and out of stores. Which leaves us today with the underground.

Window that use to face the outside, that is now closed in. a little Alfred Hitchcock
Then we went and ate some shrimp yum!

Pike Place

You would think from looking at our pictures the only thing to do in Seattle is go to Pike Place Market. It's not but we do like to go a lot!

We spent the day with Bryan who I wished lived closer to us
because hes so funny and makes me laugh
Ignore my creepy face. This is a real jar of Nutella I think it was $50. The guy said people get it around the holidays, how many people are you having over that you would need that much Nutella??I had to.....
of course we found a crazy cat store.
